Herndon, VA (September 17, 2018) – The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan combines Volkswagen’s hallmark fun-to-
drive character with a sophisticated and spacious interior, flexible seating, and high-tech infotainment and
available driver-assistance features.

New for 2019

The 2019 Tiguan is offered in six trims—S, SE, SEL, SEL R-Line®, SEL Premium, and SEL Premium R-Line.
Front-wheel drive is standard on S, SE, SEL, and SEL R-Line, with 4Motion® with Active Control available. SEL
Premium and SEL Premium R-Line models are equipped with standard 4Motion.

In a value realignment, an alarm system is standard on SE trims, moving down from SEL models, and
Volkswagen Digital Cockpit and Park Distance Control are now standard on SEL trims, moving down from the
top-of-the-line SEL Premium model. Mid-model year, the SEL R-Line is replaced by the SEL R-Line Black,
which features similar content, plus 19-inch black aluminum-alloy wheels and black exterior trim. The SEL
Premium R-Line trim remains the same.
Pricing for the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan starts at $24,295 for front-wheel drive models and $25,595 for all-
wheel drive models. The destination charge for all Tiguan models is an additional $995.

Exterior
The Tiguan, redesigned for 2018, marks an evolution in Volkswagen’s clean and timeless design DNA. The
MQB platform allows for a wider, lower stance than the previous model; the combination of this with sharper
character lines and LED lighting gives Tiguan a more aggressive look than ever before.

The S trim is distinguished by halogen headlights, LED daytime running lights and taillights, heated exterior
mirrors with integrated turn-signal indicators, and 17-inch wheels. The SE trim also wears 17-inch wheels. The
Tiguan SEL includes 18-inch wheels, fog lights with cornering function, a power liftgate, and silver roof rails.

The top-of-the-line SEL Premium trim is shod with 19-inch wheels, LED headlights with the Adaptive Front-
lighting System (AFS), rain-sensing wipers, and power-folding exterior mirrors with puddle lights. The SEL
Premium also features a hands-free Easy Open power liftgate, which is foot-activated on opening to make
Tiguan’s cargo space more accessible when customers’ hands are full. The liftgate also includes an Easy Close
feature. Two buttons give owners the option to close the liftgate with the touch of a button—one to close it
immediately and one to automatically close once you step away from the vehicle.

R-Line trims include R-Line-specific aluminum-alloy wheels—19-inch for the SEL and 20-inch for the SEL
Premium. Further design elements specific to the R-Line are a revised high-gloss front bumper with large air
inlets, a unique rear bumper, wheelarch extensions, and R-Line side skirts and exterior badging. Mid-model
year, the SEL R-Line is replaced by the SEL R-Line Black, which features similar content, plus 19-inch black
aluminum-alloy wheels and black exterior trim. The SEL Premium R-Line trim remains the same.

The exterior design of Tiguan also emphasizes its rugged utility. The front bumper, for instance, is similar to the
European model’s off-road package, complementing the Tiguan’s available 4Motion all-wheel-drive system
with a 26-degree approach angle. Other indications of its off-road capability are a 23-degree departure angle
and 7.9 inches of ground clearance.

Roof rails are standard, allowing outdoors enthusiasts to upgrade the vehicle with Volkswagen accessories
such as bike, kayak, and ski carriers. The new Tiguan has a lower lift-in height for the tailgate, making it easier
to load, no matter what cargo you’re carrying. The available accessory towing hitch can be used to pull up to
1,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Interior
The versatility of Tiguan’s seating is what sets it apart from the competition. In front-wheel-drive Tiguan
models, three rows of seating are standard, including a second-row bench that can recline, slide seven inches
fore and aft, fold down, and be split 40/20/40. The 50/50 split third-row provides seating for two, and also
folds down. When configured with Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive technology, the 2019 Tiguan comes
standard with two rows and a third row is optional.
In three-row models, folding the rear seats creates 33 cubic feet of rear cargo space, and that can be easily
expanded to a maximum of 65.7 cubic feet by folding the second row, using the levers in the cargo area. With
all three rows in place, there is still a handy 12 cubic feet of cargo space.

In two-row models, the new Tiguan supplies a generous 37.6 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and
73.5 cubic feet in all. That represents an increase of 17.4 cubic feet over the maximum cargo space in the 2017
Tiguan. The 40/20/40 split seats allow the two-row Tiguan to accommodate skis, fishing gear, or other large
items.

In the cargo area, tie-down hooks help keep things in place and a 12-volt outlet is included. In models
equipped with the available Fender® Premium Audio System, the subwoofer is hidden in the spare tire area, to
avoid sacrificing cargo space.

To let the outside into the Tiguan cabin, there’s an available panoramic glass tilt-and-slide sunroof. This
aerodynamically and acoustically optimized panoramic roof is comprised of an opening glass panel at the front
and a fixed glass panel at the rear. It features pinch protection and an electrically-operated one-touch
sunshade that covers the inside of the entire glass area. The expansive sunroof is available for the SE trim and
is standard on the SEL and SEL Premium.

The interior features modern, high-quality design with a sporty, driver-focused layout, using gloss-grey and
chrome details. Standard features now include a multi-function steering wheel and cloth seats with a rhombus
pattern that offers a premium look. Tiguan SE and SEL models feature heated leatherette seating surfaces
along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel; the SEL Premium brings leather seating surfaces and a heated
steering wheel.

Dual-zone Climatronic® automatic climate control is standard on Tiguan SE, while the S model features
manual climate controls. KESSY® keyless access, along with push-button start, is standard equipment on SE
trim levels and above.

Between the large speedometer and tachometer is a multi-function trip computer that helps monitor
everything from fuel consumption to trip distance, Bluetooth® connection status and navigation directions
(when equipped). The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit display, standard on SEL and SEL Premium models, offers
drivers a reconfigurable display of key data and the ability to position navigation data front and center for easy
viewing.

MIB II Infotainment. All 2019 Tiguan models feature Volkswagen’s innovative MIB II touchscreen infotainment
system. The display utilizes a capacitive-touch sensor (as in smartphone and tablet technology) rather than the
more common resistive touchscreens that require pressure, enabling gesture controls like swiping and even
pinch-zooming.
The Tiguan S is equipped with the Composition Color unit, which features a 6.5-inch capacitive touchscreen
display. The infotainment system also offers SD card and USB (one port) multimedia interfaces, as well as a
rearview camera and standard Bluetooth technology for compatible devices.

All other Tiguan models are equipped with a glass-covered 8.0-inch capacitive touchscreen display—SE
models with the Composition Media unit; SEL and SEL Premium models with the Discover Media system with
navigation.

Both units offer three USB ports, a JPEG viewer, SiriusXM® radio for a three month trial period, and HD Radio.
Both units also have the ability to send and receive SMS text messages with Bluetooth with compatible
phones and pair two phones simultaneously. The Discover Media unit offers 2.5D navigation, featuring one-
shot voice destination entry, destination entry with search and auto-complete, and predicts possible
destinations based on often used routes.

Fender Premium Audio. The Tiguan SEL Premium also has the latest Fender Premium Audio System as
standard equipment.

The system was developed through collaboration between Fender, the legendary music amplification experts,
and Panasonic®. A powerful, 480-watt, 12-channel amp delivers arena-sized sound to the Tiguan cabin. There
are nine speakers in total, including Super TwinTM front-door speakers and a Bassman TM subwoofer. The Super
Twin units are 200-mm dual voice-coil woofers that are specifically engineered for improved front-stage
imaging and bass response, while the subwoofer, with a single voice-coil setup, ensures Fender’s signature
audio experience is enjoyable across all rows.

Volkswagen Car-Net®. Volkswagen is committed to driving the development of more connected and
intelligent vehicles, and the Car-Net connectivity system is a major element in achieving that goal. Features
available through Car-Net are divided into three key areas: “App-Connect,” “Security & Service,” and “Guide &
Inform.”

Car-Net App-Connect smartphone integration for compatible devices is standard on all Tiguan models. App-
Connect offers users the ability to run select smartphone apps directly on the vehicle’s display through services
such as Apple CarPlay TM, Android Auto TM and MirrorLink®.

Equipped on Tiguan SEL and SEL Premium models, Car-Net Security & Service is a suite of elements that
provides security features and also allows owners to access their VW remotely through vw.com/carnet as well
as a smartphone app.

Customers purchasing new Volkswagen models equipped with VW Car-Net Security & Service will receive a
six-month trial subscription from Verizon Connect Inc. that starts on date of your Volkswagen purchase for no
additional charge. To extend the benefits of this system after the trial, customers can choose from a number
of payment options: One year for $199 and two years for $378, or month-to-month for $17.99, plus
applicable taxes and fees. App-Connect can be used free-of-charge and is not included as part of the
subscription-based services.

Available Car-Net Security & Service features include Automatic Crash Notification, which can help
automatically notify an operator who can quickly contact first responders in the event of a collision; Manual
Emergency Call, a feature that allows for quick access to customer specialists at the touch of a button;
Roadside Assistance, for added peace-of-mind in the event of trouble on the road; and Stolen Vehicle Location
Assistance, which uses Car-Net Security & Service to assist law enforcement with locating your vehicle in the
event that it is stolen.

In addition, Car-Net Security & Service offers remote vehicle access, remote door lock and unlock, remote honk
and flash of lights, last parked location information, and remote status check (doors and windows). Consumers
will also be able to send a location from their connected smart device to the factory-installed compatible
navigation system on select models. For consumers who prefer a more personal touch, Agent Destination
Assist is also available.

Car-Net Security & Service also includes Family Guardian, which offers features such as: speed alert, which
notifies you when the pre-determined maximum speed limit is exceeded; boundary alert, which lets you know
when the vehicle has traveled outside of a pre-set virtual boundary; curfew alert, which notifies you if your
vehicle is driven while curfew alert is on; and valet alert, which lets you know if your vehicle is driven more
than 0.2 miles from the valet drop-off location.

Diagnostics and maintenance information is also available through Car-Net Security & Service. In addition to
the vehicle’s warning and indicator lights, a Vehicle Health Report provides customers easy access to
diagnostic information. When it’s time for scheduled service, Car-Net Security & Service not only notifies the
customer, but provides a simple way to schedule a dealer visit.

The available VW Car-Net app for smartwatch (supports select Apple Watch® and Android WearTM operating
systems) allows VW customers to control a host of Security & Service features and functions available through
the iPhone® and AndroidTM apps and Customer Web Portal, directly from their wrist. Smartwatch wearers can
keep tabs on their vehicle from afar, remotely locking and unlocking doors and viewing the status of doors,
windows and sunroof (open or closed). These consumers can also find a parked vehicle more quickly, with a
map of the current vehicle location, and get walking or driving directions to the vehicle. Drivers can check their
fuel level and receive alerts with a compatible smartwatch.

Equipped on SEL and SEL Premium models, Car-Net Guide & Inform offers an enhanced navigation and
infotainment experience for VW consumers. Volkswagen has incorporated technologies that enhance existing
navigation offerings while adding an additional level of information that empowers consumers. The in-vehicle
navigation system features fuel prices, sports scores, movie information and weather data as part of the three-
month SiriusXM Travel Link trial. VW customers will also enjoy real-time traffic information and a
complimentary three-month SiriusXM Traffic trial.
Powertrain
The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is powered by an advanced version of Volkswagen’s EA888 four-cylinder engine.
The updated version of the benchmark EA888 four-cylinder, turbocharged, and direct-injection engine uses an
innovative modification to the conventional four-stroke cycle to offer an improved combination of power,
efficiency, and responsiveness. It incorporates the so-called Budack cycle for improved combustion efficiency.
The upshot is 184 horsepower that kicks in at 4,400 rpm and is maintained until 6,000 rpm. Maximum torque
of 221 lb-ft is achieved at 1,600 to 4,300 rpm. All Tiguans are equipped with a standard eight-speed automatic
transmission.

A Start/Stop system is standard for all Tiguan trims to help improve fuel efficiency. This technology stops the
engine during idle when the brake pedal is held (such as when waiting at a red light). When the brake pedal is
released, the engine restarts.

Tiguan models configured with front-wheel drive have 15.3 gallon fuel tanks; models with 4Motion all-wheel
drive feature 15.9 gallon tanks. EPA-estimated fuel economy for front-wheel drive models is 22 mpg in city
driving, 29 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in combined driving. Models with 4Motion all-wheel drive are
rated at 21 mpg in city driving, 29 mpg on the highway and 24 mpg in combined driving.

4Motion All-wheel-drive System

Tiguan can be equipped with the 4Motion with Active Control all-wheel-drive system. The latest-generation
4Motion system is designed to activate before wheelspin occurs, helping eliminate traction losses. The system
achieves this by using an advanced control function based on specific driving conditions. When operating
under a relatively low load or when coasting, the front wheels are driven and the rear wheels are decoupled,
helping to save fuel. However, the rear wheels can be engaged in fractions of a second whenever necessary via
the center differential, which is activated by an electro-hydraulic oil pump.

A control unit continually calculates the ideal drive torque for the rear wheels and controls how much the
multi-plate clutch should be closed by activating the oil pump. The oil pressure increases the contact pressure
at the clutch plates in proportion to the torque desired at the rear axle. So, the amount of pressure applied to
the clutch plates can be used to continuously vary the amount of torque going between the front and rear
wheels, up to a maximum of 50 percent at the rear axle.

In addition to the center differential that acts longitudinally, electronic differential locks that are a function of
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system act laterally. The system can briefly brake a wheel that is slipping,
enabling uninterrupted and stable transfer of drive power to the wheel on the opposite side.

Active Control. All Tiguan models with 4Motion all-wheel drive feature Active Control, which allows the driver
to select specific vehicle profiles based on driving conditions. It has four settings: Onroad, Snow, Offroad, and
Custom Offroad. Within the “Onroad” setting, additional options are offered: Normal, Sport, Comfort, and
Individual. These alter operating parameters for drive systems like the engine, transmission, steering, and
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), as well as traction-assistance systems like Hill Descent Assist and Hill Start
Assist. The singular user interface is highly intuitive, comprising both a rotary knob, and a push-button. Turning
the knob engages the various drive modes, while pushing the button triggers a pop-up menu on the screen of
the infotainment system, allowing the driver to fine tune the Onroad mode.

Onroad mode is the default setting. Here, the Tiguan automatically varies the drive distribution between the
two axles, accounting for road conditions. A press of the button triggers the driving profile selection screen to
pop up on the infotainment screen, offering the driver a choice of "Normal", "Sport", "Eco", and "Individual"
drive modes. Within each, the tuning parameters for the engine control, gearbox, steering and optional ACC
are varied.

In Snow mode, the response curve of the accelerator pedal is flattened to help negate unintentional and
excessive wheelspin, and the transmission upshifts earlier to help maximize traction. Communicating with the
accelerator pedal and individual wheel speed sensors, the Traction Control System (TCS) helps reduce engine
power the moment it detects slippage. The sensitivity of the system is more relaxed in straight-line situations
to allow adequate power transfer, while the limits are tightened in cornering, where traction is of paramount
importance. Last but not least, ACC is switched to the more defensive “Eco” driving profile when in Snow
mode.

Offroad mode offers similar throttle and transmission characteristics to Snow mode, adding manual control of
transmission shifting via Tiptronic® (only the throttle kickdown switch will force a downshift). The Start/Stop
system is switched off in this mode, and ACC operates normally. The ESC system is relaxed to help avoid false
positives often encountered off-road, and Hill Descent Control is automatically activated on gradients of more
than 10 percent. It functions up at speeds between 1.2 mph and 19 mph, and is adjustable via brakes or
throttle.

With unique Offroad ABS programming, the wheels can lock up briefly before the system reduces the brake
pressure. This allows time for a small wedge of material from the ground (such as gravel or sand) to build up in
front of the wheel, thus helping increase the braking effect. This means that the car still remains steerable
while its stopping distance is substantially reduced.

Custom Offroad mode allows the driver to alter the steering, engine and gearbox behavior, as well as Hill
Descent Assist and Hill Start Assist.

Chassis
Mounted in a lightweight, one-piece strengthened steel subframe, the Tiguan’s strut-type front suspension
has lower control arms and long-travel coil springs. At the rear, the robust four-link system was designed to
cope with the rigors of driving off paved roads and to accommodate the available 4Motion all-wheel drive.

Electro-mechanical power steering with variable assistance contributes to the Tiguan’s fun-to-drive character.
At highway speeds, the steering becomes firm and direct, while at parking speeds, assistance is increased. The
Tiguan boasts a turning radius of just 37.7 feet.
An impressive braking system matches the Tiguan’s athletic performance. At the front there are 13.4-inch –
diameter vented discs, with 11.8-inch-diameter solid discs at the rear. The system features a brake disc drying
feature to help remove water from the rotors to optimize wet-weather braking, as well as Electronic Brake-
pressure Distribution (EBD), and Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA). All Tiguan models also feature an electronic
parking brake.

Safety
To help protect occupants, the Tiguan provides a combination of both passive and active safety systems. It
features six airbags as standard (front and side airbags for front passengers and side curtain airbags for
outboard seating positions), along with a number of electronic safety systems, such as an Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

A standard feature on the 2019 Tiguan is Volkswagen’s Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. This builds
on the premise that a collision is rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that follow
the initial impact—the most significant of which can cause additional collisions. The Automatic Post-Collision
Braking System helps address this, in certain crash scenarios, by applying the brakes when a primary collision is
detected by the airbag sensors, thus potentially reducing residual kinetic energy and, in turn, the chance of
additional damage.

The Tiguan also includes Volkswagen’s Intelligent Crash Response System that shuts off the fuel pump,
unlocks the doors, and switches on the hazard lights if the car is involved in certain types of collisions.

All Tiguan models feature a standard rearview camera.

Driver-Assistance Systems
To meet the demands of American drivers, the 2019 Tiguan offers a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance
technology. Available features include: Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking with
Pedestrian Monitoring (Front Assist); Blind Spot Monitor; Rear Traffic Alert; Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC); Lane
Keeping System (Lane Assist); Park Distance Control; High Beam Control (Light Assist); and Overhead View
Camera (Area View).

Front Assist, standard on SE and higher models and available in the Driver Assistance package for Tiguan S, is
intended to warn drivers of potential frontal collisions (Forward Collision Warning) with vehicles and
pedestrians, and in some cases provide automatic braking assistance (Autonomous Emergency Braking).

Within physical system limits, Forward Collision Warning warns the driver of potential critical front-end
collision situations, both acoustically and visually by a warning symbol in the instrument cluster if the car is
traveling above 18 mph. Furthermore, an automatic jolt of the brakes can warn the driver of the danger. If the
driver fails to brake, or if the car is traveling below 18 mph, Autonomous Emergency Braking is activated to
help slow the vehicle. If the brake pedal is applied but the driver brakes too lightly, the brake pressure is
increased by the system (Braking Support).
Blind Spot Monitor is standard on SE and higher models and available in the Driver Assistance package for
Tiguan S. Blind Spot Monitor uses two radar sensors at the rear of the vehicle to scan the approaching traffic
and is intended to warn drivers of potential danger in adjacent lanes. If the driver uses the turn signal to
indicate a lane change while a vehicle is detected in a blind spot, the system utilizes a flashing LED symbol in
the outer area of the side mirrors. Even if the driver does not use a turn signal, the LED symbol in the mirror
will illuminate if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot. The system is designed to help alert drivers in specific
situations; stationary objects or oncoming vehicles do not trigger warnings, nor do vehicles more than one
lane across away from the vehicle.

If combined with Lane Assist (SEL Premium, see below) the system not only warns the driver with the flashing
LED symbol if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, but within system limits, it can also countersteer to help
keep the car in the lane even if the turn signal is on. If the driver still tries to steer out of the lane, the system
will warn with an additional vibration of the steering wheel.

Standard on SE and higher models and available in the Driver Assistance package for Tiguan S, the Rear Traffic
Alert system is intended to detect vehicles approaching from the side that may be difficult for the driver to see
while reversing. It offers a sizable range of about 65 feet on either side of the vehicle, and will present a visual
and an acoustic warning, if a potential collision with a crossing vehicle is detected. If the driver does not react,
the system can apply the brakes to help mitigate and, in the best case, can prevent a collision. The system is
activated by putting the car in reverse.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), standard on SEL and SEL Premium models, uses a forward facing radar to
maintain a set speed while helping maintain a set distance to the vehicle in front. The driver sets the speed and
the desired spacing via buttons on the multifunction steering wheel and can further use those buttons to
adjust and cancel the ACC function while the accelerator can be used to override the ACC function. Pressing
the brakes always cancels the ACC function. All ACC-related system messages appear in the central
multifunction display.

When the roadway ahead of the vehicle is clear, the system maintains the set speed. Tiguan models fitted with
ACC can match a vehicle in front and come to a stop if the vehicle in front does. The driver can resume ACC
control by pressing the accelerator pedal.

Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist) is standard on SEL and SEL Premium models. When driving above 40 mph,
if there is an indication that the vehicle is unintentionally straying from its lane without using a turn signal,
Lane Assist actively countersteers to help keep the vehicle in the lane. The system’s camera recognizes visible
lane markings and, using a special algorithm, calculates the risk of the car leaving the lane. If the driver takes
his or her hands off the wheel for a defined period of time, the system provides an audible warning and a visual
signal in the instrument cluster, asking the driver to take over.

The system is designed to work in the dark and/or in fog, but it will not engage if it cannot properly detect lane
markings. If the turn signal has been set before crossing a lane marking, the Lane Assist system will not
engage or give a warning. The driver can “override” the system at any time by applying minimal force to the
steering wheel.

Park Distance Control, equipped on SEL and SEL Premium models, uses ultrasonic sensors located in the front
and rear bumpers to monitor a range of up to approximately five feet in front or behind the vehicle. The
system is activated when reverse gear is engaged or below a speed of 9 mph and helps provide guidance
when parking or in tight spaces. The system has audible and visual warnings when the car starts to approach
parked cars or static objects from the front or rear.

Maneuver Braking, a part of the Park Distance Control system, is intended to mitigate or help prevent collisions
with static obstacles to the front and rear while the vehicle is maneuvered. The system is active when reverse
gear is selected. If the system detects a stationary object while the vehicle is in reverse and moving between
1-6 mph, it can apply the brakes automatically to help prevent or mitigate a collision. The system can be
deactivated at any time using the touch display or permanently in the setup menu.

Two final driver assistance features, both standard on SEL Premium models, help provide drivers with better
visibility. High Beam Control (Light Assist) automatically raises the headlamp high beams above 40 mph on
dark or poorly lit roads, if there is no oncoming traffic detected. The Overhead View Camera (Area View) uses
the car’s four cameras to help give you a better view of what is around your vehicle.

Warranty
For the 2019 model year, Volkswagen Tiguan models in the United States will come with the People First
Warranty, a six-year or 72,000-mile (whichever occurs first) bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, the remainder of which can be transferred to a subsequent vehicle owner throughout its duration.

The six-year/72,000-mile People First Warranty includes powertrain coverage for engines, transmissions and
optional 4Motion® all-wheel-drive systems. Additionally, all the elements of the remaining warranty coverage
can be transferred to a subsequent vehicle owner.

Most mainstream competitors to the Volkswagen brand in the United States such as Honda, Toyota and Ford
offer only a three-year/36,000 mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty on their
cars and SUVs. While Hyundai and Kia offer a five-year/60,000 mile basic warranty and a higher time and
mileage limit on their powertrain limited warranties, if the vehicle is sold to a second owner, the powertrain
limited warranty is not transferable beyond five years or 60,000 miles from the date it was first sold new.
